There haven't really been all that many cases when you get down to it, so it wasn't an observable event until these nurses came down with it themselves. As the article made abundantly clear, we still don't know the full ramifications of contracting this disease and experiencing it's full course.

I know what you mean...but the isolation necessary was one of the first things about the disease that struck me, even a couple of months ago in March...that, and the mechanical ventilation...

Imagine being on a vent, if you can...a lot of patients become psychotic and require massive tranks...it's horrible...add to that, no one even to hold your hand, skin to skin...everyone around you wearing Jupitor suits in fear that some virus from you will jump to them...none of your loved ones in the room to give you the REAL reassurance you need to maintain hope....And before and after the mechanical ventilator, the knowledge that hugging your children or your spouse might infect them...watching everything you've touched, even your plastic fork and spoon, carted away in bright red biohazard bags...

Add to that, the knowledge that you have a disease that kills 15% of its victims in spite of everything medicine can do...that out of every 7 who get it, one will die...will that one be you? No one will guarantee your survival...
